1.Do you have any concerns about the quality of educational resources developed using an open authoring approach? If so, what are your concerns? If not, how does an open authoring approach contribute to high quality learning materials?

Answer : I believe that if all the users are well informed about it and know how to use it can be faster and exciting, as all participant can easily share their comments about a particular subjects .

With quality I think it depends on the knowledge of contributors about the subject and also their availability to contribute on regular bases.

2.In your opinion, should closed or open authoring approaches be used in the development of learning resources for use in education? Give reasons for your view?

I turn to believe that a combination of the two authoring approaches will be better off used for the development of a learning resourse for use in education , reasons being that closed authoring will help in erase any error that was encountered while using open authoring approch , and it will act as a quality control.

3.What mechanisms can be adopted to assure quality of educational content developed in wiki environments?

I guess we experts on both authoring approaches who can regularly do quality controlling in order to ensure quality learning content.
